Roses, Roses, Roses Traditional RR, 2012

The participants in this RR created lovely blocks that were made even more lovely by the creative additions of roses by every stitcher.  The talented ladies who made this Roses round robin a visual delight were: Cathy L, Kathy S, Meg W, Rita C. and Ruby (with Connie K. doing some angel work for her).

CATHY L’S BLOCK

We don’t have a picture of Cathy’s naked block, but here are pictures of the work of the first stitcher, Kathy S.

The next stitcher was Meg, and this is the block after her work was added.
Rita added the laces and rose bouquet in a red patch.

Unfortunately, we did not get a photo of the completed block after Ruby’s work.
